I got on the bus after a long week of work and just wanted to get home as soon as possible. The bus driver seemed a little more chipper than normal, ok fine, it is Friday, that’s cool. About 3 blocks into the trip, she starts belting out Broadway show tunes loud enough for me to hear them in the back of the bus. Then some crack whore sitting around mid-bus decides that all attention should be on her and not on the singing bus driver so she saunters up to the front of the bus and starts chatting up a blind guy sitting in the special sitting area by offering him half of her bakery loot (which amazingly, he accepted). I just shook my head and continued on reading the paper. 5 minutes later I decided to look up; the Cabaret tunes were getting louder and louder and now the crack whore has straddled the blind guy and is feeding him a chocolate muffin from her loot bag. Life would be so boring without public transit.

I don't have any "fond" memories of using public transit like you do...
The best buses in Vancover are the routes that go through DTES!
well, how about another public facility story? The young girl(about 16) sitting on a bench with her mother at the pool the other day-they were sitting outside the sauna room and the your girl would just lean over, take a swig of water and just spit it out all over the floor..that coupled with just intermittent spitting was precious...especially with her mother looking on approvingly. I thought I had seen it all before, but again, Vancouverites never cease to amaze
